]]> DIAMOND https://transformtransport.org/research/inclusive-mobility/diamond/ Mon, 15 Jun 2020 18:57:33 +0000 https://research.systematica.net/?p=5761 The rising demand of public transport services and infrastructure requires the design of effective and sustainable mobility strategies to improve the quality of life. Following this trend, one of the most promising transport planning approaches is based on the integration of multidisciplinary knowledge and skills derived from urban studies, social sciences and computer science. Thanks to the recent development of advanced ICT-Information and Communication Technologies, and because of the increasingly available digital data sources, Big Data is becoming a valuable tool for decision makers by unveiling hidden mobility patterns within cities.
